Looking good!! I am sure you will enjoy it. The seat looks pretty comfortable and warmer weather is coming. I just finished mine as well and have taken a number of chilly rides to test things out. What are the headlights from?

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Jerry, the headlights are Guide 682-C, they were used I believe in the late 30's to 40's. These were on a pickup that I acquired that had been in a fire.....the buckets had small dents etc. I spent sometime getting them up the way they are in the picture plus $ for the chrome and lamping kits and emblems.

30-Pickup and Tom Wesenberg:

The color is Niagara Blue Lite, a 1928 Ford color.........it was cross referenced and mixed from the paint number at a local store, Ridge Auto.
